Subject: Branson - PLK
Hi listers,
My wife and I will be arriving for a vacation to Branson this next
Saturday May 2nd and will stay a week. It was our intent to land at the
new BBG but apparently that is not going to be an option. I am told our
next best location is PLK - Taney County Airport. I am not sure how far
this is from downtown Branson but also wondering about safety, security,
and such at this airport. Does anybody have any info regarding this
location? My RV-6 has a canopy cover and tie downs so I think it would
be OK outside for a week stay. Are there any RV builders at this
airport currently?
Thanks for any info.

Tim,
My family lives in Branson and PLK is A-OK to fly into. Security should
be fine as there isn't any access to this hilltop airport except through
the front gate unless you're an army Ranger. There is an interesting
collection of 20 -30 airplanes in the large hangar somewhat nearest the
center of the airport. If the door is open, take a peak to see if you
can get an invite inside.
Make sure you don't run outta gas. It'd be a helluva bad place to find
an alternate as it is all trees and hills! Also, don't land short.
You'll see why.
